How to knit a hat for a newborn (patterns)

Gray capA newborn requires affectionate touch not only from the parents’ hands, but also from clothing. All clothes and hats for a newborn should be very soft. Additionally hypoallergenic and very beautiful colors. There are also such hats.

The head is very small and therefore you should not trust the table indicators. Carefully takes two measurements of the baby (head circumference and depth). The first indicator can be taken at the clinic; they always measure the circumference of the child’s head. But you’ll have to tinker with the second one (measure from earlobe to the other earlobe).

Choose an interesting model and you can start selecting yarn.

It is important to accurately count the stitches; these are not adult models. For example, for an adult it is nothing to make a mistake by one (or two) loops; they will practically not be noticeable on the whole product, if it is not bulky yarn.

The product itself has a rectangular canvas in unfolded form. It is necessary to make additions to the depth of the cap at the lapel (approximately 3 cm). Multiply the resulting figure by 2 and you can knit. The width of the product will be equal to 1/2 the circumference of the head. There is no need to add or subtract anything. The seams are on the side, followed by small decreases and the product will be true to size. So, we cast on the required number of loops and started knitting the rectangle fabric.

Important! The number of loops must be odd to ensure an even rib pattern.

We tied the required height of the rectangle and closed the loops strictly according to the pattern of the fabric.

Tassels. For tie tassels, you need to pick up air loops and create even tassels from the same size threads. Sew the tassels to the air loops.

Fringe-ears. Fringe is required for the corners of the cap. Fluffy and with long strings.

Beginner Newborn Hat

Blue hat 2A very simple hat model that a beginner can handle. To do this, he only needs to know one pattern - 2*2 elastic band. Learn to add stitches and you can safely start knitting this hat.

To work you will need:

  • children's yarn;
  • knitting needles number 2.

The entire cap represents a trapezoid, until the moment it is sewn. For a trapezoid, you need to know the circumference of the neck, measure the oval of the face and the depth of the hat. Depth - this will be the indicator from the lobe of one ear to the other (it will need to be divided by 2 and added 5 cm - for the tail of the hat).

Oval face - this size will tell you how many stitches you need to cast on with knitting needles. The neck circumference will tell you where to end the length of the trapezoid. So, we picked up the stitches with knitting needles and first made two rows in stockinette stitch. In the next row, one stitch was added evenly every 2 knit stitches.

Elastic pattern 2x2

Elastic pattern 2x2

First knit the pattern like an elastic band 2*1. Next, add loops to create a 2*2 pattern. After adding, begin only along the edge of the canvas and without interfering with the pattern.Knit a length equal to 1/2 the circumference of the neck and bind off the loops. Separately, make a beautiful tassel for the hat and use a crochet hook to make the ties with simple air loops.

Assembly: Fold the trapezoid in half so that the sides align. The base of the trapezoid will be its longest side. This is the back seam of the hat. Sew the back seam. Sew on the tassel and ties. Try on the product and mark a place on the tail for several stitches so that the hat fits more tightly to the baby’s head.

The whole product is ready, not even an hour has passed. A trapezoid hat is a real art.

Winter hat for boys and girls with pompom

Please note that in this case the pompom will require the most yarn. A very voluminous pompom will not interfere with the child. Yes, it will turn out to be heavy, but the baby’s head is constantly held either by the hood or by the mother’s hand.

Cap 3To work you will need:

  • white yarn, 3 skeins of children's pekhorka, 50 g each;
  • knitting needles number 3.

You need to knit a hat in two threads. In addition to two measurements (cap depth and circumference), it is necessary to measure the oval of the face and the circumference of the neck. The cap starts from the bottom. It is necessary to dial the number of loops taking into account the neck circumference. Knit 10 cm and bind off 1/4 stitches according to the face circumference. That is, if you calculate that the circumference of the face is 40 cm, it requires 60 loops. Then we close 25 loops accordingly. We knit further not in circles.

Braid pattern

Braid pattern

Make 1/3 of the face circumference according to the fabric pattern and attach an additional set with knitting needles (it is equal to the previously closed loops), then knit again in the round. Decrease in every second row of purl stitches. When only knit stitches remain on the knitting needles, pull them into a circle and secure the thread.

Using circular knitting needles, cast on stitches along the edge of the cutout for the face. Work 10 cm with an elastic band 2*2, in the penultimate row add one loop at a time in the purl loops. Make sure that the elastic pattern is not disturbed. You should get a 2*3 elastic band. Then close the loops according to the fabric pattern. Sew the elastic to the hat using neat stitches.

The pompom is made from leftover yarn. You should get a very large ball. Sew it on and the hat is ready.

You can make these wonderful hats for a newborn with your own hands. Therefore, we are preparing to meet the winter in warmth and comfort with new hats. Each model is very beautiful, and there is nothing difficult to create. Don’t put off everything that your baby and you dream about.
